Translations

Units may translate materials into any language, though are encouraged to try to translate into IFLA's official languages as a first priority.

Units are encouraged to use their own Standing Committee members, or their wider IFLA Member community to help with translations of materials they produce.

A country's National Library or national library association usually likes to be consulted and can advise on accepted or recommended terms.

IFLA's Language Centre staff work voluntarily. They will often be busy translating materials with high priority for advocacy purposes or wide IFLA dissemination. If you wish to approach them to ask for help with a translation, please contact them via IFLA HQ.

Webinars

Webinars are short web-based seminars, either live or on-demand, usually transmitting audio and video over the web. As a type of digital event, they are a great way to generate value at a relatively low cost (mainly due to no travelling involved).

These are a good and relatively quick opportunity to share IFLA’s Professional Units work and calls to action, reaching out and engaging with individuals located anywhere in the world, particularly those who may not be able to attend in person events, like the WLIC.
